Logbook Issue - suggestions

[PositionandHold]

When I started instructing, for reasons that I regret having, I stopped logging landings. I have about 200hrs of dual given now, and no landings logged in that period.

I stopped logging them because most of them technically were not my landings. Is this going to be a problem?

Whether or not it is, if I want to retrolog these, how would I go about it? Would I just log a standard "1" for every lesson and/or guesstimate based on the lesson done, or should I just leave it?

Look forward to your suggestions

Listen to that little inner voice.... his voice sounds much like the good brother (read:CYA) of the evil twin who works for the FAA.

...but moving forward, one idea is to split the landing box diagonally. In the top half, insert the digit for student or student-assisted, landings. In the bottom half, log the landings you perform as sole manipulator. As a CFI, you should be able to work in a few "demonstrations" for your student on how a proper pattern and landing is accomplished. You should in the very least be able to keep current under this method.

Not a bad idea. The landing box is barely big enough for more than 2 digits as it is, though.

The problem I am having is what to do about the past landings that I did not log. Is there any standard protocol that people use? I was thinking just a standard 1.

Do you need to log them for something in particular? (Maybe I'm missing something...)
I only log the landings I do / demo / recover.

Currency?

Logging landings for currency that you don't do???

I don't log landings my students do while I'm just sitting there.

I think you are misreading what he said. He hasn't logged any landings in the past 200hrs including landings he did.

I just plop down a landing every few lessons if I can't remember (and usually I'm doing the right rudder to align the aircraft with the runway).

I would put down a few landings here or there (look at your students, the guys who had just started out on lessons 1-3 will be the guys you add landings to - maybe add a demo landing to someone you were working on landings with before solo). It looks weird if you add a single landing to each lesson.
